I was excited to stumble upon Book Gallery, especially when I noticed its extensive collection of Arizonan/southwestern literature. But the owner of the store took it upon himself to make some extremely racist and aggressive comments about Mexicans during our conversation, and I quickly became very uncomfortable. I'm not sure why he felt comfortable sharing thoughts like that with me, but I suppose I'm glad I know how he feels now, as I'll put my hard-earned dollars elsewhere.

Book Gallery is a not so secret spot that feels like a well-kept secret. It's a secondhand book store that is bulging at every corner with rare, collectible, and some current titles stacked and stuffed into aisles of tall wood bookshelves. There were boxes filled with books not shelved, rows and rows of Arizona Highway magazine, and tall stacks of leather bound National Geographic. You could spend hours finding something you were never looking for. It feels like walking through someone's attic stuffed with years of collecting, and yet at the same time, you get the sense that the owner knows exactly where everything is. It's quiet and worn and to any book lover it's the most beautiful sight...and smell.

You probably won’t find the latest bestseller on the shelves, but instead an incredible array of literature spanning the decades. Fun place to grab a coffee and wander around.

Cool massive used bookshop. Very unique books in good condition. No prices on anything though and staff did not explain pricing at all or the concept which was strange.

I can't imagine he is missing any book you are looking for. Just missing a lot of big comfy chairs.

This is a unique, homey bookstore. It smells like vintage books. There are piles of new inventory yet to be priced. Honestly, it’s kind of chaotic good.There are many genres - from all of history’s wars to different art forms, like dance and photography, to very specific animals, like elephants. It’s truly a unique way to categorize the books.This bookstore is a treasure; I don’t know how long it’s been here but I hope it stays forever. I will be back soon!

This bookstore is awesome, from the moment you walk in your head will be jerking left to right taking in titles you've only probably heard about. And Mike and his assistant are there to serve and will do whatever it takes to find what your looking for, he's stayed late for us numerous times without a complaint just to make sure we leave happy. So if your looking for a new read or just want to browse a intriguing place book gallery is the spot for sure .

I wish I had more time to explore more of this place. We got a signed book that interests us and the staff, Alex, is super helpful. This store is a gem.

I want to move in!They have so many wonderful books, I absolutely love this place. The people working there are so friendly and helpful. I was walking around just astonished at this amazing store I had never been to before and a tall gentleman walked by saying very gently that if I needed any help I should just let him know. I went back a few weeks later to see if they had a book I was looking for which they did not but they took my name and number in case they did get it in sometime soon. I then walked around and ended up buying a book that caught my eye during my first visit. Simply driving by the store on the street puts a smile on my face, if you love books I highly recommend this place!

Very cool store! Feels kinda like walking through a book lovers private library. So much selection overflowing the aisles. I could spend hours checking out everything they have. Looking forward to visiting again — when it’s not 117°F! ???

This is the bookstore of my imagination. It is the place I will bring all my books friends to forevermore. I find a treasure every time I walk through the doors. I stumbled on this place by accident and now I can't stop thinking about it and telling people about it. If you are looking for something unique or hard to find J have no doubt they can get it for you. And even better, the owner knows about books and I learn something when I buy something. Get here as soon as you can!

Nice little spot. But no real YA section to really speak of. Thought maybe I had missed the section itself and was directed back to this small wall with only a few options. Great for other sections on history, art and so many others. But was really hoping for a great YA section and this place did not deliver unfortunately.

This is a great and unique bookstore. I had the privilege of interacting with the owner and his kind and helpful employees. The finds here are amazing. I recommend it. They have a section of old Bibles. I saw one as old as 1660!
